Reasons to use Air New Zealand from the UK to its home country include great on-board service and the feeling that you’ve arrived in this wonderfully friendly country the moment you board the aircraft at Heathrow. Reasons not to use Air New Zealand from the UK to NZ include transit stops in Los Angeles and (eventually) having to get off the aircraft after a truly relaxing 24 hour flight.... Be careful to select the flights via Hong Kong. We hate transiting Los Angeles, and you will too!
